The Gathering
God Bless you Brothers and Sisters in Christ. This post will contain information relating to Venus, which was shared in the previous blog post named "The Morning Star Rising in Our Hearts!". If you have not read that post yet and watched those two videos by Stan, I humbly encourage you to do so now...
If you have watched Stans videos, you undoubtably noticed how Venus does a retrograde loop back into the womb of Virgo this fall. It is a beautiful loop reminiscent of the loop Jupiter did inside the womb of Virgo back in 2017 leading up to the Rev12 Sign. But something immediately struck me about Venus this time. It's loop culminates just inside the Brightest star in Virgo, commonly known as Spica. I will describe Spica more later, but I really want to convey how beautiful this sign is above and beyond what Stan shared in his videos. He illustrates the symbology of the Virgin birth wonderfully, but I truly believe it is no coincidence how Venus wraps around Spica, a very very unique star, so perfectly.... a motion that I have come to affectionately call "THE GATHERING".
Ok, I am struggling here because this is a very beautiful and rare thing and I made this awesome moving image that shows it so well but I have been unable to upload images to this site for a few years now...and it will not work no matter what I try! It must be the same issue that doesn't allow me to comment anymore. Anyway, I encourage you to look it up on Stellarium... so in leu of a graphic I will try to describe it better for you here in this paragraph below....
As of this writing, Venus is steadily moving backwards in the sky (opposite direction of the Sun and Moon) towards the brightest star in the Constellation Virgo (Spica). Normally it visually flows with the Sun, Moon and rest of the planets, but about once a year it goes backwards for about a month or so. It has been going backwards (retrograde) since the beginning of October. On October 24th, it meets up with the Sun and transitions in front of it and back to being the "Morning Star" (2 Peter 1:19). It is interesting to note that on this day Venus is physically closest to Earth...which is pretty cool when you think about it. Then, on November 7th, Venus will be aligned with Spica, and it just so happens that the last sliver of the moon will be briefly aligned as with it as well (Matt 18:20). All three are briefly line up in a perfectly spaced row for a few hours. A few days later, on November 11th, Venus begins a tight curve around Spica (aka THE GATHERING) and by November 13-14th it is directly behind it and beginning it's loop back in it's normal direction. During the last few days of November, Venus increases it's brightness and distance from the Sun, giving it the maximum possible time to be visible in the sky. (Psalm 19:1). The most optimal time to see Venus is actually right around November 25-26th, Thanksgiving Day! (You can't make this up!) It is on this day when this potential "Sign of the Son of Man" (Matt 24:30) will be most perfectly displayed as the Morning star is birthed from the Virgin. Then as the month ends and December begins Venus starts to fade slightly and speeds up to catch back up to the Sun, which it will eventually achieve in August of 2027, at which point it will cease to be the morning Star for a time being. If you watch Stan's "Part 2" video, at the 21:45 mark he shows this well using the Stellarium software. He also did an even more though description in a previous video which you can see here.
I am a visual person, so trying to describe that all with words is not easy for me. I am hoping just some of the wonder and perfection of God shines through. What I want to focus on now is Spica... the brightest star in Virgo and the star that Venus seems to "Gather" during its loop.
Spica is a very unique star, and no coincidence it is mentioned in the very first chapter of EW Bullinger's famous work "The Witness of the Stars". The book describes that ancient understanding of how God used the stars and constellations to describe the Gospel and prophetic plan of God through the ages since the beginning of time. I have had the pdf available on this site under the resources page for years, if you want to check it out here is a link. The Witness of the Stars - E.W. Bullinger
It should be noted that Virgo is the first/most important constellation described in Bullinger's work. In that, Spica is the first star he describes in detail since it is the brightest star in the constellation. The section were he speaks about Virgo starts on the bottom of page 26 in the pdf linked above... I encourage you to read it.
As for Spica, aka "Al Zimach". Here is what he has to say (found on pg 28):
Thus the brightest star in VIRGO has an ancient name, handed down to us in all the star-maps, in which the Hebrew word Tsemech is preserved. It is called in Arabic Al Zimach, which means the branch. This star is in the ear of corn which she holds in her left hand. Hence the star has a modern Latin name, which has almost superseded the ancient one, Spica, which means, an ear of corn. But this hides the great truth revealed by its name Al Zimach. It foretold the coming of Him who should bear this name. The same Divine inspiration has, in the written Word, four times connected it with Him. There are twenty Hebrew words translated "Branch," but only one of them (Tsemech) is used exclusively of the Messiah, and this word only four times (Jer 33:15 being only a repetition of Jer 23:5). Each of these further connects Him with one special account of Him, given in the Gospels.
(1) Jeremiah 23:5 --"Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, That I will raise unto David a righteous BRANCH (i.e., a Son), And a KING shall reign and prosper." The account of His coming as King is written in the Gospel according to Matthew, where Jehovah says to Israel, "Behold thy KING." (Zech 9:9; Matt 21:9)
(2) Zechariah 3:8--"Behold I will bring forth my SERVANT the BRANCH." In the Gospel according to Mark we find the record of Jehovah's servant and His service, and we hear Jehovah's voice saying, "Behold my SERVANT." (Isa 42:1)
(3) Zechariah 6:12--"Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the MAN whose name is the BRANCH." In the Gospel according to Luke we behold Him, presented in "the MAN Christ Jesus."
(4) Isaiah 4:2--"In that day shall the BRANCH of JEHOVAH be beautiful and glorious." So that this Branch, this Son, is Jehovah Himself; and as we read the record of John we hear the voice from heaven saying, "Behold your GOD." (Isa 40:9) This is the Branch foretold by the star Al Zimach in the ear of corn.
Spica is depicted in Stellarium as a Sheath of Wheat. The Latin meaning of Spica denotes an Ear of Corn. Both of these could be tied to the Rapture via the harvest analogy. But E.W. Bullinger brings us back to the ancient Aramaic name "Al Zimach" which means the branch. He does a great job laying out several verses stating that The Branch is another name for Jesus. But I will go a step further and say it is a name for us as well! Not only are we "The Body of Christ", but in John 15:5 Jesus says that we are The Branches!
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5
Furthermore, you may have caught in the description of Spica in "The Witness of Stars", that it is actually a double star. Two stars, so close together, orbiting each other that they are indistinguishable from one another. Sound familiar? See John 17:22-23 It was only due to modern specialized telescopes were we able to discover this.
Here is a very good link to learn more about Spica:https://earthsky.org/brightest-stars/speed-on-to-spica-the-15th-brightest-star/
I would love to share that picture since it reminds me so much of us and Christ, but since I am seemingly unable to attach pictures and any only YouTube videos, here is a real video of Spica from a telescope. As you watch this, ponder how this unique star, really 2 stars picturing Us and Christ, The Branch and the Branches, could be shining as a beacon home for us. Two lights, inseparably linked, orbiting each other, shining together. Then picture Venus, the Morning Star (Rev 22:16), swooping around Spica and gathering us in as part of what we hope is "The Sign of the Son of Man" leading up to our Blessed Hope! (Titus 2:13) In addition to what Stan shared in at the end of his Part 2 video, I could not picture a more beautiful way to symbolize our gathering to Him.
In closing, perhaps Jesus saw it the same when he used this unique visual to explain the parable of the sower to in Matthew 13:36-43.
Then Jesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to Him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”
He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, and the good seed represents the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will weed out of His kingdom every cause of sin and all who practice lawlessness. And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping an gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
He who has ears, let him hear. Mathew 13:36-43
And as Daniel described:
At that time Michael, the great prince who stands watch over your people, will rise up. There will be a time of distress, the likes of which will not have occurred from the beginning of nations until that time. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.
And many who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, but others to shame and everlasting contempt. Then the wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever and ever. Daniel 12:1-3
A few other notes you may find interesting:
- It should be noted that I found that this Spica, Venus, Moon conjunction Nov 7th is actually one of the Top 10 Best Skywatching events of 2026 listed by the Farmers Almanac. Here is the link if you want to read what they said: https://www.almanac.com/best-skywatching-events-2026
- November 7th, the day of the triple conjunction, is me and my wife's 17 year Anniversary
- November 11th, the start of what I have called "The Gathering" aka 11-11 is what Stan named is YT channel several years ago, long before he knew anything about this sign!
- The distance Venus will be from Spica is about 2 moon widths, or the same as a couple a finger widths when your arm is fully extended. I did a search of several thousand years and could not find an instance when Spica was looped so closely to Spica. I plan to do an even more though search in the days to come... but you can be assured this is a very rare event.
- I also find it interesting that the world distorted Gods original meaning of the name of Spica from
The Branch in Virgos hand, to wheat as depicted in modern star art. Especially in leu of verses like Luke 3:17, Micah 4:12, etc.
Thank you, Brad. Fascinating and will be interesting to watch. It isn't over till it's over for this year! As Lu so often says, the sign is not the event, but one day it will be!! Who knows maybe this time we'll be going Home. Thank you for all the years continuing this site when you couldn't even post comments to interact with the family here. We may not say it often, but you are not forgotten, and we appreciate you!!
ReplyDeleteThe sign is not the event but the event WILL be a sign.
DeleteTypologically serving as a representation of both Christ and HIs Glorified Body, The Church, we see here that, speaking of Zerubbabel, The Lord Has Ordained that 'on that day' the event foreshadowed by The Great Wonder, Harpazo, will Be HIS SIGN (signet) To HIs People:
In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee (Harpazo?), O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee (1st Cor 15:52) as a signet: for I have chosen thee (Ephesians 1:4-5), saith the LORD of hosts. Haggai 2:23 KJV (annotated)
Shalom
Jimboni!
DeleteThat was a 'Gold Star' posting. Nice verbal irony, but that the 'Event will be a Sign'...
Lu
Yes, that was pretty good👍

RE: Venus Retrograde 2026?
ReplyDeletePart 1 of 2
Brad and Fam,
Here is a short clip of the path, Venus, the Bright and Morning Star has taken through the Mazzaroth or constellations of Leo, Virgo and Libra for 2026. It is highlighting or showing that Retrograde in Virgo presently taking place, as of this post. The Retrograde or ‘loop’ in Virgo conjoins Spica, the ‘Branch’ as in the Messiah inference twice. Here are some of my observations. I did not depict the Sun or any other planets on the Ecliptic so as to not clutter the detail of Venus as it moves across the constellations.
1. As far as Jupiter is concerned, it will display in the heavens an amazing ‘Triple Regel conjunction. This echoes what occurred back in 2015 with the last series of the 4 Blood Moons. It echoes what also occurred back during the days when the Magi saw this Star of the Messiah. The tip-off was how Jupiter did a triple conjunction in Regulus due to its Retrograde at that place and time in Virgo, over Bethlehem, etc. So, something dealing with the ‘Messiah’ is being signaled.
-King Planet = Jupiter
-King Sign = Leo
-King Star = Regulus
2) Then you have Jupiter in front of Leo presently, as it has starting to enter it since the beginning of October 2026. Note that on November 11, the day of the Azovmena Prophecy, it will be conjoined with Mars, the Planet of War. And on the same day, the 2nd conjunction of Venus with Spica occurs. Hummm….
3) As far as the trajectory of Venus? Here are the highlighted time stamps, off of the Ecliptic for reference.
MAY 14 About to enter Silver Gate.
JUN 9: Christ Star conjunction in Gemini with Venus and Jupiter
JUL 11: Conjoined Regulus in Leo.
AUG 1: Entered Sign of Virgo.
SEP 1: Conjoined Spica in Virgo.
OCT 3: Retrograde began on Sukkot, Day 7 (Rabbinical Calendar)
NOV 11: Conjoins Spica in Virgo.
NOV 20: Birthed out of ‘’Womb’ Area of Virgo.
DEC 25: Enters Libra

Part 2 of 2
DeleteThe Retrograde of Venus, which eclipses Spica in Virgo twice in 2026, occurring at or approximately near Spica has only happened 40 times since 32 AD. Venus has an 8-year cycle that produces the Pentagram or ‘Rose’ pattern when viewed from a top-down orientation. This is due to the frequency of its Retrogrades.
I call these Retrogrades of the planets a ‘lasso’ as if it rounds-up certain other planets on the Ecliptic or fixed stars in the constellation it is traversing through. In the case of the Venus Retrograde of 2026, the lasso ‘captures’ Spica, called the ‘Branch’ as in the Messiah. If this Venus Retrograde in Virgo is signaling the Rapture’s depiction? It is a nice prophetic echo to the book of Revelation.
It is where Jesus is attributed such a tittle and motif by none other than Himself. As to possibly signaling the timing of the Rapture? It will remain to be seen as Venus conjoins Spica on November 11 and then is ‘birthed’ out of the ‘womb’ area of Virgo on November 20, 2026. So, the time stamps occur beyond the Fall Feasts time-frame.
So, we Keep the Watch,
Lu Vega

VENUS RETROGRADE 2026

Brad, thank you for this. I checked it with Stellarium and my own planetary software, and your description holds. Venus turned back on October 3. She passed between us and the Sun on October 24 and came closest to Earth the next day. On November 7, before dawn, the thin crescent stands about five degrees from both Venus and Spica. Venus comes nearest to Spica on November 9, at 1.16 degrees, a little over two moon widths. She turns forward again on November 14 and is at her brightest on November 26. Going back she passes south of Spica, coming forward she passes north of it. The loop really does wrap around the star.
ReplyDeleteOne line needs a correction, and I think you will enjoy it more than mind it. On November 10, 1783, Venus came within 0.06 degrees of Spica inside her loop, a hair short of covering it. And the further back you go, the closer they come: in the 4,000 years before the cross, 84 of the 104 loops came within two degrees.
Lu, the full count is 50. From AD 32 through this fall, Venus made 50 loops that wrap around Spica, each with three passes, and 11 of them came within two degrees. They come in runs: six or seven loops, eight years apart, then a pause of 243 or 235 years, about 240. The runs began in 114, 357, 592, 835, 1070, 1313, 1548, 1783 and 2026, and this one continues in 2034, 2042, 2050, 2058 and 2066. Venus does not eclipse Spica this year. She passes it three times: September 2, November 6 and November 22. A triple conjunction.
And then Mars. Five days after Venus leaves Spica, on November 27, Mars reaches the longitude of Regulus, the king star in Leo, and begins his own triple pass: again on February 21 and May 15, 2027. Venus at Spica followed by Mars at Regulus in one season has happened only 7 times in 6,000 years: 3687, 2504, 2472 and 1289 BC, and AD 843, 2026 and 2058. Since AD 32, only in 843 and now.
Mars made that same loop in 1947-48. He stood at the longitude of Regulus on November 29, 1947, the day of the UN vote, passed back over it in February, and crossed it a third time on May 17, 1948, three days after Israel was declared a state. During the war he walked straight on through Virgo, Libra and Scorpius into Sagittarius, and around the ceasefire of January 1949 he sank into the glare of the Sun.
And in 1967, the year Jerusalem came back into Jewish hands, there was a double loop at the king star itself. Venus passed Regulus three times (July 8, September 11 and September 30), and two weeks later Jupiter began his: October 15, 1967, then March 2 and June 11, 1968.
I attach no meaning to any of this; I write it down. Double loops as such are not rare. With Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn and the four bright stars on the ecliptic, there were about 120 since AD 32, one every 17 years or so. Each pair is rare; doubles are common. The sky alone does not tell us which one matters. The Word does.
Jimboni, amen to that line: the sign is not the event, but the event will be a sign. That is exactly how I read the sky. The loop of Mars in 1947-48 did not create the state of Israel. The vote and May 14 did, and those events became the sign, because God had promised it (Ezek 37:21). Jesus says the same of His coming: 'then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven' (Matt 24:30), and I read that sign as His appearing itself. The lights can mark the time. Only the event tells us what the time meant.
Your verse rewards a closer look too. 'I will take you' is אֶקָּחֲךָ, from לָקַח, the verb used of Enoch: 'and he was not, for God took him' (Gen 5:24), and of Elijah (2 Kgs 2:3). And the signet answers a judgment. Of Zerubbabel's grandfather Jeconiah the LORD had said that even if he were the signet on His right hand, He would tear him off (Jer 22:24; Matt 1:12). The grandson is put back on the hand. That is grace. Two verses earlier the LORD says: 'I am shaking the heavens and the earth' (Hag 2:21). In that chapter the heavens and the taking belong together.
With love, in Him who is coming,
Henk
A small clarification to my count. 'From AD 32' was Lu's starting point, his year for the cross, not a loop of its own. In AD 32 Venus made no loop around Spica. The nearest loops were in 106 BC and AD 114, so in the lifetime of Jesus there was none at all.

RE: Venus Retrogrades and the Rapture 2026?
DeleteHenk!
Thanks for the details. It does depend on the degree of angle Venus approaches a star like Spica in this case of its 2026 retrograde. When asking A.I., I got a 3-tier response depending on how close Venus one considers a conjunction. I went with the simplest one as I tend to lose people with too many numbers.
Also, for the chart, as you know, it is not to scale. So, the Venus trajectory appears to entirely eclipse Spica. Also, some almanacs, A.I., stated that they have up to November 11, 2026, for that Venus-Spica conjunction. Nonetheless, thanks for contributing a lot more details about it.
But the Rapture would nice just about now, lol. I am still looking at this Sukkot Feast ‘Rapture Zone’ based on the re-calibrated date count from the New Moon after the Fall Equinox. So, this ‘Zone’ is from sunset October 25 to November 1. We shall see. Beyond that, for me will be a ‘bust’ or ‘no-go’ for a Rapture year in 2026.
It will have to be just another Rapture Rehearsal. And what has been unpopular to say is that what if…we have 7 more years to go? This is based on how 2032-33 will be the 2000-year anniversary of the Crucifixion and end of the 2-day prophetic Church Age dispensation. This model and timeline is assuming the 7-year Tribulation Period occur thereafter. But it poses problems pertaining to the return year of Jesus.
Nonetheless, we are getting 1 day closer to our rescue as the Noah and Lot world seems to be losing its mind. We know it is all orchestrated chaos: Problem-Reaction-Solution. So, ‘Order out of Chaos’. Such is the state of the world has to be for the ‘Man with the Solution’, the Savior to appear and implement their Luciferian Reset.
I did a video further discussing this possible re-calibrated Sukkot Feast. I am tying it to the in-gathering in more ways than 1 and linking it back to the Revelation 12 Sign. It is about a 20-minute video. But since I have a raspy voice, it puts people to sleep. :0 That is why I try to compensate with the graphics to keep the interest, if at all. So, ‘geeked-out’ with many charts but for those that love Astronomy, it will be interesting, perhaps.
To Infinity and Beyond,

Lu, thank you, brother. No correction needed on your side: with Venus the count depends on where you draw the line, and you said so.
DeleteOn November 11, I checked it both ways. In longitude Venus passes Spica on November 6. In right ascension, the measure most almanacs use, she passes on November 3 and again on November 19. She comes closest on November 9, at 1.16 degrees, and on the 11th she is still only 1.21 degrees away. To the eye, the 9th to the 11th is one and the same meeting, so your date is a good night to look.
On the 2,000 years: you place the cross in AD 32 or 33; I place it at Passover, AD 31. If a day is a thousand years (2 Pet 3:8), the two days of Hosea 6:2 then run out at Passover 2031. In my reading that is not the start of the week but its middle: the abomination at Purim 2031, the middle at Passover, and the end of the week in the autumn of 2034. So the 2,000 years need not push the week later. They may sit right in its heart.
And whether the gathering comes at Sukkot this year or later, 'Rapture Rehearsal' is a good word. Every rehearsal teaches us to keep our lamps trimmed (Matt 25:7).
Hold on to Him, brother.
RE: 31 AD Crucifixion?
DeleteHenk!
All good. We are just sharing where we are at on the Eschatological ‘Learning Curve’, as I call it. It is good to compare notes and timelines. As you know, I triangulate my assertions with Astronomy and Sacred Gematria like with the Phi Ratio, so it is an issue for me that ‘I cannot un-see what I have seen’.
However, just because the Astronomy or Phi Ratios appear to corroborate with the dates that I argue are the actual time markers when it comes to the lifespan of Jesus, it is circumstantial at best.
1- December 14, -4 BC conception on Hanukkah, based on Torah Calendar.
2- September 11, -3 BC born in Bethlehem as Jupiter is in Virgo on Yom Teruah.
3- October 31, 28 AD declared Jubilee in Nazareth.
4- April 14, 32 AD is exactly 1260 days after the Jubilee Proclamation.
5-Jesus was 30 years old when He started to taken-on Disciples.
6-The 2032-33 Tetrad of Blood Moons eerily echoes the one from 32-33 AD one.
_________________________
Thus, Jesus was in His 33rd year at the time of the crucifixion in 32 AD if this timeline listed is true and accurate. For those that subscribe to Jesus being crucified in 33 AD, He would have had to been 34 years old if we count from the Roman Catholic Gregorian Calendar.
For Jesus to have been 33 years old in 33 AD, Jesus had to be born in the year -1 BC, for example. So, if the Crucifixion is in 31 AD, then we are 1 year even ahead of what is anticipated by many, that 2033 is the high-watch year for Jesus’ return. Assuming a 31 AD Crucifixion year, then the following, no?
31 AD Crucifixion/Church Age + 2000 years as 2 days for Church Age = 2031
Then 2031 – 7-year Tribulation Period, assuming pre-Trib model = 2024
Based on this understanding, the 2024-25 should have been the start of the Tribulation Period, no? What I do find very interesting from you calculation that you state 2031 is rather the midpoint of the Tribulation, then 1260 days from it is October 29, 2027, end day included. This is if you account for Nisan 10 on April 10, 2027, instead. However, it means that on October 2, 2034, would be the 2520th day, no? Or the return of Jesus? Am I understanding correctly?
Keeping the Watch,
Lu
Lu, thank you for asking, brother. 'Learning curve' is the right word for all of us.
DeleteYou call the astronomy and the Phi ratios circumstantial at best, and I agree with that word. I use the sky the same way: the Word sets the frame, and the lights may confirm it.
Here is how I count, a little more fully.
The frame is Daniel's clock. From the decree of 457 BC, 69 weeks of years (483 years) run to AD 27: 'until an Anointed One, a Prince' (Dan 9:25), the autumn in which Jesus was anointed with the Spirit at His baptism (Acts 10:38). Then the text says 'after': 'after the 62 weeks an Anointed One shall be cut off' (Dan 9:26). The cross, in AD 31, falls outside the count, and the seventieth week waits.
So the 2,000 years of Hosea 6:2 (a day as a thousand years, 2 Pet 3:8) do not end the Church Age seven years before 2031. They start the seventieth week exactly where the sixty-ninth ended: AD 27 → 2027. And the pattern runs on, on three nails:
- 27 → 2027: the Messiah appears and is tested; 2,000 years later the counterfeit appears and opens his week.
- 31 → 2031: 'Crucify Him', at the heart of His week; 2,000 years later the abomination, at the heart of the other week.
- 34 → 2034: the door turns to the Gentiles (Acts 8 onward); 2,000 years later the week closes, and Israel looks on Him whom they pierced (Zech 12:10).
The week opens on Tishri 1, 5788 (October 2, 2027), and the Bride is gathered within it, before the abomination, most logically in 2028.
The day counts: Daniel starts them from the middle, not from the opening (Dan 12:7, 11-12). That middle has two anchors, thirty days apart: the abomination at Purim (March 9, 2031) and Passover (April 8, 2031).
- 1,260 days from Passover: September 19, 2034.
- 1,290 days from Purim: the same day. The thirty days close the gap.
- 1,335 days from Purim: November 3, 2034, which on God's calendar of new moon and barley is Hoshana Rabba.
So I do not count the week as 2,520 days. Seven real years on God's calendar, with their leap months, come to 2,569 days from October 2, 2027 to Tishri 1, 5795.
One more check on AD 32, as I mentioned before. In the Julian calendar, the calendar of that day, April 14, AD 32 was a Monday. The Wednesday only appears when a Gregorian formula is applied to a Julian date. In AD 31, Nisan 14 fell on Wednesday, April 25: the Wednesday you and I both hold.
Your tetrad fits in as well. The four total lunar eclipses of April 25 and October 18, 2032, and April 14 and October 8, 2033, frame the second half of my week around the spring and autumn feasts, and on the spring equinox of 2034 a total solar eclipse follows. The echo of AD 32-33 is there, only in a different place.
Where we differ is Herod. With his death in 4 BC, I come to a birth in 5 BC. Then Jesus was 31 at His baptism in AD 27, 'about thirty' (Luke 3:23), and 34 at the cross in AD 31.

Blessings, Family. Bro Tyler at Gen2434 has a health update on Dr. Barry Awe. Dr. Awe had a couple days of intense stomach pain and went to the ER last night. They found a blockage in his bile duct and performed the same procedure I had five years ago called an ERCP, but, now, unfortunately, he has sepsis. Please pray for his complete healing and recovery as we know nothing is too hard for our Lord to fix.
ReplyDeleteDr. Awe’s wife Danielle said he turned yellow from the buildup of bilirubin that his liver was unable to drain. The Drs will have to remove his gallbladder and he will need 4-6 weeks to recover.
DeleteThank you AA! You beat me to it in announcing this to the family. I am very fond of our brother Barry. He talks so much about the Rapture—he truly longs for it. For years, he has worked so hard to encourage believers. Many of those whose videos I’ve watched or whose websites I’ve read—Daniel Matson, for example—have left us without experiencing the Rapture alongside the entire body of Christ, even though they wanted it so much! In a sense, you could say they had a personal Rapture!
DeleteTake Mario Massicotte, for example—an evangelist well-known in Quebec and, I believe, in France, who was so driven by the fact that Jesus is coming soon to take us home! Yet, God took him before the rest of us! 😢 I pray that Barry pulls through, as he is suffering, and I would love for him to experience the Rapture alongside us—not on his own. I’m sorry to say that! Of course, he would be with the Lord and would be perfectly fine, but he is one of those people who encourages me to keep going through his videos and his constant enthusiasm. I would be truly heartbroken, just as I was with Mario. May God restore him completely! 🙏 But, above all, may His will be done.
Blessings, dear Carole. So many great teachers have gone on to Heaven ahead of us. I had hoped my friend Jerry would go up in the Rapture with us, but the Lord called him Home a little over one year ago. I know the Lord’s timing is perfect, and He knows exactly how much each of us can bear in this terrible world. It’s so important to always pray that His Will, not ours, be done as it is His Divine Prerogative to call any of us Home whenever He so chooses. I am still sad about Hal Lindsey’s passing. The Lord let him live a long time and his work was done. I feel Bro Barry Awe still has so much still to teach us, and his enthusiasm for the Word of God is unmatched, in my humble opinion, out of all the YT teachers I have watched over the years. I pray this crisis passes and he recovers. I’m sorry about Mario. You had mentioned him in an earlier posting. They say two things are guaranteed in life- death and taxes. I would add grief to that, also. Sadly, as we get older, there’s only more of it. Thank God that we can always turn to Him for comfort that only He can provide in exactly the manner we need.
Delete“ Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Oh my.. Thank u AA.

RE: October 31-November 1 Rapture High-Watch?!
ReplyDeletePART 1 of 3
OK, FYI (For Your Information) and Red Alert, Red Alert! :)
So, here is a video that came across my feed from our Brother Jaco Prinsloo in South Africa. Aside from his theology that may not be agreeable in terms of Salvation or Soteriology, why I am bringing his latest video to your attention has to do with the up-coming possible 7-day 'Noah' warning of when the Rapture Window could possibly occur. And why?
It has to do with how it appears to match my model since 32 AD of an October 32-November 1 date. Based on my research and calculations, it had to do with the proclamation of the Jubilee then. And now, a possible correlation to this years’ New Moon day-count after the Fall Equinox puts the Feast of Sukkot or Tabernacles at a very high Rapture watch for the following reasons.
As it has been presented at my end of the research, the re-calibrated model made the Feast of Sukkot a prime candidate for a Rapture time-frame due to its in-gathering typology of the Summer harvest. But Brother Jaco is correlating the Feast of Sukkot to be the 7-day countdown to the ‘Great Day’ and thus the possible Rapture’s timing.
And that Great Day is when Jesus ‘secretly’ came up to the Temple and revealed and exclaimed in a loud voice, like a trumpet shout, the people need to ‘come’ into Him as if an Ark type. I like this prophetic typology to the waters of knowledge and the pending judgment that will follow after the Rapture, on the 8th Day, the Great Assembly.
YouTube video

by Jaco Prinsloo in South Africa
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFSbTpedWG8
So, to reiterate and summarize what this could be a high Rapture watch time-frame is how Brother Jaco came with his model through the interpretation of John 8:38.
1. How the Transfiguration occurring on Sukkot on Mount Hermon, that one is convinced of, could be linked to the timing of the Rapture Transfiguration.
2. Then, how the Feast of Sukkot or Tabernacles is 7 days and can serve as the 7-day countdown to the Rapture, perhaps. This is, of course, if the Rapture is in 2026.
This is my contribution to the time-frame from years of research. It is how on that 8th Day, the Great Assembly when the Law of Moses was confirmed or re-read in the hearing of Israel at the Temple, Jesus alludes to water. This is my link to Noah and the pending judgment to come.
Brother Jaco, in his video, shares how in recent years, many children and Brethren have had dreams and visions about how, around Halloween, the Rapture event occurs. And long with that a natural catastrophe is associated with some type of asteroid.
PART 2 of 3
DeleteIt will remain to be seen, but here is why the October 31-November 7-days that comprise the Feast of Sukkot for 2026, being recalibrated from the New Moon after the Fall Equinox is very telling and compelling. Based on the November 19 -4 BC Hanukkah Conception of Jesus, then 266-day gestation to September 11, -3 BC, being the birth of Jesus, would make Jesus be 29 years old in the year 28 AD.
Then from Elul 1, being a 40-day countdown to Yom Kippur, Jesus was tempted in the wilderness for those 40 Days. Then on that 40th Day, Jesus proclaimed the Jubilee in the Synagogue of Nazareth, which I calculate was then October 31-November 1, 28 AD. If this timeline is sound, then exactly 1260 days later or 42 months or 3.5 years lands one precisely on the day of His crucifixion of April 14, 32 AD.
This was accented astronomically with the total Blood Moon on the other side of the planet. And per my theory, the 3 hours of total darkness enveloped the entire planet due to the flyby of Planet X. So, for 2026, based on this re-calibration from the Fall Equinox, it makes the Feast of Sukkot start at the sunset of October 25, 2026, Israel time.
It means that the last and Great Day would be October 31, 2026, Halloween in the West and then November 1, is the traditional Day of the Dead world commemoration of most ancient pagan civilizations. But very interestingly, this is when the link to Noah, having been shut in for 7 days by Jehovah waiting for the water, rushing out to come to judge the world. So, here we are, the Church Age now having completed 1,994 years as of 2026 with 7 years remaining to equal 2000 years completed in 2032.
This leaves then the 2001st year for Jesus to then return. And if one’s model and timeline of a Fall 2026 to Fall 2033 Tribulation Period model holds, then the September 23, 2033, Yom Teruah date looks that more compelling to see if it will really then be the return of Jesus to conclude the Time of Jacob’s trouble when Jesus comes to rescue the Wife of Jehovah. Here is the timeline, starting from one’s astronomical triangulation calculation.

___________________
So, based on Brother Jaco’s insinuation, the highest Rapture watch correlates to Halloween, on an October 31-November 1 time-frame. It will remain to be seen, but one just got very interested in how that notion complements mine as well but not really knowing what day of the Feast of Sukkot it would be or could be or will eventually one day be.
Nonetheless, one is bringing it to your attention as this period of time will be, in my estimation, a very critical high Rapture Zone to consider and take note of, based on all that one has presented. It is obviously a model and based on theory mixed with astronomical lineage.
It will remain to be seen. But as one has stated before, as to the research and timelines I have presented, if no Rapture beyond November 1? Then surely one is missing critical pieces that one is not aware of or can be made aware of. So, we keep the watch.
Blessings,
Lu

Another interesting data point is how in the United States, Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 1, 2026. It is when clocks ‘fall back’ 1 hour to 1:00 a.m. Standard Time. How this could be pertinent is that the link to the Midnight Call of the 10 Virgins parable could be inferred. And then consider that the term, to ‘fall back’ is how the translation of 2 Thessalonians 2:3 can also be interpreted, as one argues.
It is the Strong's Greek: 646, the word, Apostasia (ἀποστασία) in Greek can mean a physical departure. This is in context of a military definition of leaving one’s post. For example, the rank of ‘Lieutenant’ comes from the meaning, to stand or maintain one’s place, etc. So, it is rather interesting that, what if the Noah inference and Rapture timing would or could be inferred in this regard?
Hey Bob and Lu, I’m ready to board Spirit Airlines flight 777. Family, get ready, in case this turns out to be the right time to leave. 😁 Go Jesus Go! We are all waiting for you, my beloved King! ❤️💕
DeleteLu...I just watched Jaco's video. He makes a very compelling case for the Rapture to happen on Halloween (October 31-November 1). I also agree with your assessment that from 10/25 (beginning of the Feast of Sukkot or Feast of Tabernacles, Israel time) to 11/1 (Day 6 + 7 of Sukkot) will be a critical 'High Watch Period'. I would also include 11/2, the Great 8th Day of the Feast of Tabernacles (aka Shemini Atzeret). However, if one really wants to cover all their "Rapture Bases" one may also want to consider extending the 'High Watch Period' to 11/11 or even to 11/14, based on various prophecies, etc.
DeleteAt this time I should probably acknowdge that my personal 'High Watch Rapture Date" of 10-14-26 did not pan out as expected. That was the 3rd Anniversary of the "Wedding Ring" Solar Eclipse that occurred on the left hand/finger of Virgo on 10-14-23. While things seemed to have lined up perfectly (the Sun passing through the left hand of Virgo on 10-14-26, the meaning of Strong's #1096, etc) perhaps I misunderstood what it all meant. I originally interpreted the Sun as being the Son or Jesus coming for His Bride on that 3rd Anniversary, but perhaps the Sun actually represented the Almighty Father or the Father of the Bridegroom passing through the left hand/finger of Virgo to give His "blessing" to the upcoming marriage ceremony while He continued in a westward journey ultimately ending up in Libra (The Scales) around October 31st, which "could" be both the Day of the Rapture and start of the 7 year Tribulation. Admittedly, I was somewhat skeptical of the Sun symbolizing the Almighty Father until I read the following:
"For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly." ( Psalm 84:11 kjv)
Some say "this is just a poetic way of saying that God is the source of all blessing and essential for all provisions of life. Nothing can live or thrive or be sustained without the energy of the Sun. In Matthew 5:45 it says that He causes the Sun to shine on both the righteous and the wicked. So the Sun represents the goodness and grace of God on all of His creation."
The above may be somewhat of a "stretch" and I certainly acknowledge that, but hey, it supports the High Watch Rapture Timeline presented by Jaco and Lu, plus it rightly redirects our attention towards Jesus, "The Bright and Morning Star", where it will soon (10/24) make it's transition from an Evening to a Morning Star. Plus it will continue in its retrograde direction towards Spica and in fact, circle it perhaps summoning the two witnesses (Enoch and Elijah?). Pure speculation on my part since Spica is actually made up of two stars! And as many of you know, Spica is one of the stars that make up Virgo, which is very close to the left hand/fingers of Virgo which holds the sheaf of wheat (or corn!). Symbolically, this represents a "Harvest Type" or perhaps the Bridegroom coming for His Bride during the Fall Feasts.
Needless to say, all of the above makes me very Hopeful + Excited that we may be departing very soon! So much so, that I better check the engines of Spirit Airways, Flight 777!

Cap't Bob
I just want to add that there's likely so much more to the Venus/Sun journey than I've described. One thing I noted when briefly watching the recent live stream video by Tyler@Generation2434 was that Venus and the Sun were directly opposite each other when Venus transitions from an Evening Star to a Morning Star on 10/24. It's almost like the Father will be passing the torch to Jesus and saying "go and do your thing" (i.e, come for/marry your Bride as written/prophesied). And as many have already discussed, the connection to the Rev12 Sign, the connection to the parable of the 10 virgins with only 5 being taken (see T.W. Tramm's latest article), Venus entering the womb area of Virgo, etc.
DeleteSo how rare is the inferior conjunction between Venus and the Sun on October 24, 2026? According to EarthSky (see video below), the last time it happened was in 2012 and 2004. Typically this transit between Venus and the Sun occurs in pairs every 8 years. The next time they will align up this perfectly will be in 2117 and 2125 in 91 and 99 years, respectively.
Deletehttps://youtu.be/SUBToeL4b-o?si=nwPvFABVkgCuB7aL
What I found interesting is that this scene of Venus passing in front of the Sun will directly line up with and be visible from Earth (with specially equipped telescopes of course!), as if our Lord + Savior is showing mankind through His Heavenly Signs that something very profound and prophetic is about to occur.
Bob...Venus passes inferior conjunction with earth about every 584 days. I have stellarium..but my favorite app is on my phone. This 2Peter1:19 prophesy being talked about is amazing...but I do not agree with the 2nd half fulfillment being next month, or even next year.
DeleteI studied on that for days and it blew me away. I am not one for setting dates on Christ's return....but I am 99% convinced something major will happen by the end of November...and I dont mean an aircraft or two being shot down...a world altering event.. Time will tell, and I will put myself in the dunk tank. Makes your throws on target...ha
Hi Stan...I hear what you're saying. No Rapture in the next month or so, but something major or world altering event by the end of November. In that regard I totally agree with you. Something very big is about to happen. I can feel it in my bones, even if it's not the Rapture. Major strike in Iran perhaps as early as this weekend, additional cyber attacks, Marshall Law declared by DJT on Election Day, a devastating earthquake somewhere other than California (ha, ha!), a tactical nuclear exchange somewhere in the Middle East or between Russia and NATO, etc. 'Stan the Man', it's clearly time for us to stock up on supplies and say our prayers! Or just in case, start boarding Flight 777!
DeleteAbsolutely on the US striking Iran...but I mean it will majorly escalate...Trump and the elites are shutting down the world's oil supply and about the only comments are the $5 gas and $6-7 diesel....I know California is much higher...
Deletebut wait till the refineries in the mideast are hit...either by Iran or the US and Israel false flagging take them out...blaming Iran. Same with the desalination plants those people over there need...whether they be billionaires or buminaurs.... Then China is likely to take Taiwan
..and North Korea whether it be Kim Jon Ung...or if his death rumors are true...his evil sister is worse.
I really believe that this morning star Venus rising in the east in November is none other than the angel ascending from the east having the seal of God...as Revelation 7:2 mentions. I have several scriptural connections tying this angel as being the same angel in Revelation 8:3 that is standing at the altar with a golden censer..filling it with fire from the altar in verse 5...and casting it into the earth, producing voices, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake. I believe that this earthquake is the result of the resurrecting power released when the 144,000 receive the seal of God just as other resurrection on the Bible are tie to earthquakes.
Last I checked, I am still a human, and make mistakes....so...I may be wrong but again...I feel 99% on major chaos coming...and I dont mean Trump obliterating Iran again. They bragged 2 weeks into this war that we obliterated their military. Hmmm...seems they control as much now 8 months later. This is the biggest deception ever as we see our great country taken down. Oh, we will break the bow of Elam....but not completely destroy Iran. Prophesy clearly shows they are coming back in the Ezekiel 38 war alongside Russia Turkey Syria, with China and North Korea supporting them.
An amazing few years of stuff that we are just starting to see happen. The news reporters may as well start the evening news wit...Please turn in your Bibles to Daniel chapter 8.
Stan...with all of our doomsday talk and the end of civilization as we know it, I think I need to pour myself a Strong's #1096 "ginomai" specialty cocktail consisting of 1 part Gin o' Tonic + 1 part Mai Tai. Lol! I'm sure it will go well with the smoked salmon I made last Friday. Bring over some of your "world famous" squirrel stew and we can have a "grand old time"! Also, don't forget to bring over your telescope so we can check out Venus before it turns into the "Bright and Morning Star". Maybe we'll get lucky and even see a flying angel (ha, ha!).
